The Airports of Tunisia — All Nine, Explained

How many airports does Tunisia have? Nine civil airports, four of which carry almost all international tourist traffic: Tunis-Carthage (TUN), Enfidha (NBE), Monastir (MIR) and Djerba (DJE). Full list, destinations served, and fixed-price transfers from each.

Tunisia has nine civil airports: Tunis-Carthage (TUN), Enfidha-Hammamet (NBE), Monastir Habib Bourguiba (MIR), Djerba-Zarzis (DJE), Sfax-Thyna (SFA), Tozeur-Nefta (TOE), Tabarka-Aïn Draham (TBJ), Gafsa-Ksar (GAF) and Gabès-Matmata (GAE). Four of them carry almost all international tourist traffic, and choosing the right one shapes your transfer cost: fly to TUN for Tunis, Carthage and Sidi Bou Said (transfers from 40 TND); to NBE for Hammamet and Yasmine Hammamet (75-80 TND) and as a good option for Sousse (90 TND); to MIR for Sousse, Monastir and Mahdia (from 40 TND, Sousse just 60 TND); to DJE for Djerba island and Zarzis (from 45 TND). Tozeur-Nefta is the specialist gateway for Sahara circuits. Carstodo covers all four main airports with the same fixed-price, 24/7 private-transfer system — flight tracked, name sign in arrivals, no night surcharge.

Why this matters

Nine airports, four that matter for holidays

TUN, NBE, MIR and DJE handle nearly all scheduled and charter tourist flights; the rest are regional or specialist.

Pick the airport by your resort

Hammamet → NBE (40 km) · Sousse → MIR (22 km) · Tunis → TUN (8 km) · Djerba → DJE (8-30 km). Shorter transfer, lower cost.

Same transfer system at all four

One booking platform, one fixed-price model, one operator — whichever airport your flight uses.

Sahara via Tozeur or Djerba

For desert itineraries, TOE puts you at the dunes; DJE → Tozeur (320 TND) is the classic island-to-oasis link.
